How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body and plays a crucial role in regulating numerous bodily functions. This hormone is available in a compounded formulation of a 200 mg/5 ml oral suspension, which is used in the treatment of various medical conditions.

One of the primary uses of DHEA is in the treatment of adrenal insufficiency, a condition where the body does not produce sufficient amounts of its own hormones. DHEA is also used in the treatment of certain types of depression and to enhance sexual function in both men and women.

When DHEA is taken as directed, it is absorbed into the bloodstream where it is converted into other hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen. These hormones are essential in regulating a variety of bodily functions, including mood, energy levels, and sexual function.

The recommended dosage of DHEA is 200 mg/5 ml, to be taken orally once daily. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and not exceed it. To minimize the risk of stomach upset, it is recommended to take this medication with food.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
